what about drinking?!?!

[Grantsdu]

I like to go out and have a few drinks everyonce in a while. I very seldome get drunk but I will 5 or 6 times a year. I know this can't be good on my body as far as getting stronger and bigger are concerned. If I really want to get big should I cut it out all together?!? What about just having a couple of beers everynot and again?

if u do it about 5x a year that aint really bad,if you was to be doing it every week than it could effect your goals (BEER BELLY) kidney damage

I've heard it washes vitamines and nutrients out of your body. Prob 'cause it makes you write your name in the snow

At your age, a few beers now and then is ok. While technically, alcohol, especially beer is really bad for your diet, I think it's beneficial to your overall happiness to let yourself have fun now and then. So don't sweat it. The gym will be there long after your hangover ends.

i agree with Y - lifter.

besides, unless it's a job lifting is just a hobby and shouldn;t take over your life.

don;t let lifting and diet make you a sad bastard.

Drink if you will, drink if your able..if you drink with me, I will put you under the table!!!

I am a powerlifter and I drink a lot and get pretty drunk too. It wont fuck up your training if yo0u schedule your training around it..if you decide to go drink, train a lot right before you drink!! This way the carbs in the alcohol will go to your muscles and make you strong! Also dont train the day after drinking..Arnold used to go out and drink a few days a week, so should everyone over 21!! Cheers!

An interesting theory. Not all carbs are the same.

How are the carbs in beer different from the carbs in a sport drink or a glass of juice?
